The opening of a new series is definitely not something that Wu Yuan and Erad can talk about in a few sentences.

But both of them were quite interested in this plan, and initially made a verbal agreement, and then after the release of "Pirates of the Caribbean", everyone sat down to talk in detail.

Wu Yuan is also not worried that after listening to the idea of "Ace Agent", Elad dares to put aside the light era and go it alone.

What are you kidding, Hollywood is not just a film production company on New Line.

When Wu Yuan proposed this plan, it had already been decided that regardless of whether the new line finally agreed to cooperate or not, he would advance the plan of the "Ace Agent" series.

The difference is only that if the new line agrees, add the prequel of "Rush Hour 3", and if he doesn't agree, he immediately turns around and looks for Fox or Universal to cooperate with the "Ace Agent" project.

Anyway, relying on Light Age alone, it is true that it can't make such a large-scale series, and can only make some low-budget comedy series.

"Then let's settle it first, and then we'll talk about it in detail." Wu Yuan clinked glasses with Elad with a smile on his face, and the two drank the champagne in the glass together.

At a luncheon, neither of them ate much, but they were both very satisfied with the luncheon event.

pinching the last time, Wu Yuan hurriedly ate something, and after barely filling his stomach, he followed the main creative team of the crew and left the luncheon hall first.

He hadn't forgotten what he was doing.

Today is the premiere of "Pirates of the Caribbean".

By the end of the luncheon, it was almost two o'clock in the afternoon.

In just an hour to go, the premiere of Pirates of the Caribbean will begin.

The premiere was held right next to the Pirates of the Caribbean project at Disneyland.

Disney spent a lot of money to build a temporary screening hall directly in the square, using the latest film film projection equipment, and the entire screening hall can accommodate 1,200 people watching movies at the same time.

The film critics who were invited to watch the movie and some professional media have already checked their documents to enter the movie.

After Wu Yuan joined Depp, Jerry and others, the creator of "Pirates of the Caribbean" entered the screening hall through another internal passage one step ahead of others.

"Daniel, you are going to speak on stage as a representative of the crew in a while, are you ready?" Jerry asked, a little worried.

He was deeply afraid that Wu Yuan would speak wildly again after a while, boasting about something that was difficult to achieve.

"Of course it's ready." Wu Yuan's expression was relaxed, "Jerry, don't worry, I've never been a person who talks nonsense. ”

"Don't you have faith in Pirates of the Caribbean and don't think it's going to be a box office hit?"

Can I say I don't have faith. Jerry cried out in his heart.

For the first part of this series, his goal is really just to preserve the capital, as long as he can maintain the capital and accumulate popularity, and reverse the public's impression of pirate films, the next two sequels will have the capital to sell well.

As for the first part being a big hit, Jerry really didn't dare to think it was so beautiful.

Otherwise, he would not have proposed so happily that if the global box office of the first film could exceed 500 million US dollars, he would increase the director's fee for Wu Yuan, didn't he think that this condition was impossible to achieve.

"Of course I want to be a big seller, but we should be conservative in our forecasts." Jerry said tactfully.

"Alright, I got it."

Looking at Wu Yuan's absent-minded response, KK, who was sitting behind them, covered his mouth and snickered, how could he not have found out that the director was so "rebellious" before.

More than half an hour later, Javey Cotton led a group of the most important guests to the finale.

His presence also represents the official start of the premiere of "Pirates of the Caribbean 1".

Seeing the guests who came with him sit in the second row, Harvey took the microphone and walked to the big screen.

"Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen!"

"I'm Harvey Cotton, vice president of Walt Disney Pictures, and welcome to the premiere of Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl."

"The preparation of this film is really not easy."

"The idea for the film actually came from the theme park of the same name at Disneyland."

"After producer Jerry brought in Shrek's screenwriters Ted Elliott and Terry Rucio to put the script in place, he began to look for actors and directors."

"Eventually, we brought in Daniel Wu, who was excellent at the box office and awards, to direct the film."

"Depp and Orlando, the elven prince, and our beautiful British girl, Keira Knightley, are also on board."

"Although the film is a fantasy story, the main creative staff did not slack off on the relevant historical background, and we specially brought in historian Peter Twist as a consultant."

"He imparted relevant historical knowledge to the various departments of the crew, from the customs of the time and the details of dress, to daily life, navigation and military conditions, and so on."

"In order to be able to make this movie well, every staff member in the crew is doing their best to complete the tasks in their hands."

"I'm also honored that we finally made it happen, and delivered a magical adventure to a global audience!"

"I hope you can enjoy this movie and enjoy this new fantasy adventure world created by Disney."

"So, I have Daniel, the director of this film, I believe he has a lot to say to you."

Wu Yuan put down his cocked legs, got up and walked to the front of the stage, took the microphone from Javey Cotton, and exchanged places with him, facing the thousands of guests at the scene.

"Honestly, I don't really know what to say."

A burst of laughter rang out from the audience.

Wu Yuan deliberately made a serious expression: "Don't laugh, I'm really not joking." ”

"For a director, when the film is finished, everything is over, at least as a director, everything is done."

"As for whether this movie will be loved by the audience in the end, this decision is not in the hands of the director, but in the hands of the people."

"All I can do is make this film with my heart and try to shoot it as best as I can."

"And there's only one thing I can say to you."

"Pirates of the Caribbean is definitely a movie that is worth the ticket price and will be remembered after watching it!"

Wu Yuan finished his speech cleanly and sat back in his seat.

The constant whispering and sparse movement in the screening room gradually disappeared as the lights dimmed, and everything returned to calm.

The sound of the film starting to spin sounded, and the picture lit up on the big screen.

There is no opening animation that is common in Disney animated films.

It's wrapped in flames and full of pirate-style "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl" movie subtitles.

The title briefly appeared for a few seconds and then disappeared, and a sea full of fog appeared in front of the eyes of all the audience.

"Wow-"

A gorgeous warship, braving the wind and waves, rushed straight towards the audience.

"We are pirates~ We do all kinds of evil~ We burn, kill and loot~" In the background sound, the sweet child's voice of the little girl is singing a chilling ballad.

The legendary journey of "Pirates of the Caribbean" officially begins at this moment.

A pirate ship called the Black Pearl is about to set sail and smash all the obstacles that stand in its way!
